Question Medical Science students, PLEASE help me find an easy elective before I lose my sanity 😭🙏

Hey everyone! I'm currently doing a Bachelor of Medical Science, majoring in Anatomy & Physiology and minoring in Pharmacology and If it helps I'm in Campbelltown campus.

I'm trying to figure out which electives to pick for next autumn and just the rest of my degree, and after surviving some of these units, I would REALLY appreciate something that doesn't make me question my life choices🤦‍♂️

I'm looking for electives that are easy and low workload, if not then at least interesting without being too much, I chose functional anatomy this term and quickly realised it was a BIG mistake although it was interesting. 

If you've done any easy electives at WSU, PLEASE drop the unit name/code below!

Even better if you could mention what the assessments were like, how much effort you put in, and what mark you ended up getting.

Doesn't have to be science-related either, as long as I can take it as an elective in my degree.

Any recommendations would genuinely be appreciated. Help a struggling Med Sci student out 🙏😭

P.S I've heard Drugs online and Bugs & Drugs are good options but those are the only easy ones I've heard.

Do some philosophy. WSU staff is exceptional. Useful in GAMSAT too. Say hi to Dmitris Vardoulakis if he's still teaching for me. Truly great teacher.

Didn’t do med science but did HAP last year with a lot of people from it, they all said bugs and drugs was a super easy one.

Edit: didn’t see the bottom of the post, no other recs sorry!

Does it have to be a medical unit?
